Maybe a vacation was really what I needed. I'm in a great mood today, which probably is an overflow from last night.
I am exhausted today; I guess I can sort of blame the tall J Man for that :P I was really slow getting ready this morning since I decided that I would take all the necessary steps to not have to go home after work before going out again.
It took me forever to get my outfit just right. I'm wearing a new dress that reminded me of a nightgown this morning. I decided to wear accessories to help out. I was going to wear one of my sterling silver necklaces, but they ALL need a cleaning. Same with my earrings, too. What the heck happened? I'm no jewelry conniseur...I have no idea what to do with my miscoloured jewelry (or is that jewellery?).
So I wore the only necklace I had that hadn't changed colour. And I put on this bracelet thing that my aunt gave me. It's just a long strand with magnetized beads, so you can wrap it anyway you want. It can go around the wrist, neck, or waist...kind of nifty, actually. But with the wrapping and all, it tugs on my arm hair from time to time, and it hurts!!
And then the whole purse thing took forever. I don't have very many, so it's hard to choose something that goes with what I'm wearing. I'll use the new beaded clutch I got in England. And I put on some boots.
I will hate not having my camera with me tonight, but it just won't fit!! Neither will my hand cream. My hands definitely feel drier since I've returned :( So...I put a lot of effort into looking nice today, including my makeup.
I'm using this new Stila eyeliner. It's in pencil form. I don't like using pencils. Why did I let the salesgirl talk me into it? The eyeliner does have nice texture, but I hate pencils. The line is too defined, even with my attempts of a bit of softening it with a brush. I told her I would prefer to use a wet eyeshadow and liner brush. She told me that is what she did too.
In fact, she tried to sell me all the eye shadows SHE liked while I patiently listened to her spiel. Then I decided I would buy even less stuff than I had planned on. I had not intended on buying eye shadow. I told her what I needed. I also brought it in all my old products that were not up to standard like my cracked pressed powder and my dried up smudge pot. She didn't really address anything about this except "I don't know what to tell you. My manager is not here." And then when I left, I realised she had forgotten to take my number. What I wanted wasn't in stock. :roll:
So you tell a salesgirl you need powder and eye liner and she tries to sell you eye shadow. Real bright one, there. And one of my pet peeves is when people in the service industry start telling me their life stories. I'm really not interested in getting to know them, and I don't need them to try to connect with me.
Phew, that was a tangent.
One of my co-workers [He is kind of annoying. When he was a co-op here, he'd hit on me all the time. Then he left and came back permanently. After he returned, he acted as if we'd never talked in the past. But today, he actually started up a convo with me] complimented me on my outfit...told me I looked nice. How nice.
